After much banging my head on my desk, I found out why many of the newer Neptunia franchise games will not start properly, not playing videos. I have already let IF Int'l know about it, but I thought I'd share it with everyone here.

It turns out that if you have AC3Filter installed, it will interfere with your ability to play any of the FMV (as opposed to 3D-rendered) cutscenes. Right now, the best (and only) thing you can do is uninstall AC3Filter.

The best solution is the author implement a "blacklist" feature is added to AC3Filter to keep it from being included in any playback graphs if the program run is any of the affected games I mentioned in the topic.
